WATCH! Emotional Vice Ganda's Eulogy for Lolo Gonzalo
The remains of comedian Vice Ganda’s grandfather were cremated on Sunday.
In a eulogy which the “Praybeyt Benjamin” star delivered on Saturday, Vice Ganda was unable to stop his tears as he recalled his fondest memories with his lolo Gonzalo Dacumos.
“Nakakatuwa nga kasi bago siya umalis, he made sure I was number one this year sa MMFF. Nanood muna siya bago siya umalis. Namatay siya after ng last full show. Mahal na mahal ako niyan. Siya lang ang nagmamahal sa akin ng totoo na hindi ko pagdududahan,” he said.
Vice Ganda said he will forever be thankful for Dacumos because he looked after him when his mother had to leave for another country when he was still young.
Calling his grandfather his own Santa Claus, Vice Ganda said: “I am so sad right now because Santa died on Christmas Day.”
“Hindi ko alam kung naririnig niyo pa ako or nakikita niyo pa ako. Kung naririnig at nakikita niyo pa ako, ibig sabihin nakakakita kayo ng multo kasi hindi ko alam kung buhay pa ako ngayon. Hindi ako sigurado. Paano ako magiging buhay, patay na 'yung puso ko? Ang alam lang ng utak ko, patay na 'yung lolo ko,” he said,” he added.
Before passing, Vice Ganda’s grandfather was under intensive care for more than a week.
The comedian’s grandfather had been suffering from renal and respiratory failure, among other complications due to old age, Vice Ganda said in a December 21 interview on "The Buzz."
